O thou, who by hard showers extinguishest the calamity of the woods, the mountain Amrakūta will bear thee travel-tired, worthily on its top. Even the vile turn not away the face from a friend if he should take refuge by them, having in view former benefits, how much less one so noble? (as Amrakūta.)
